FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)

I don’t know how they justify dropping us lower than 5th/6th.  Should be 5th. 
 

Also some of those espn projections are stupid. 
 

Texas behind Ohio St?  2 losses, one to a team we destroyed and who didn’t play in their Conference Title game. 
 

Behind Tennessee, who also lost to a team we beat and didn’t make the conference title game.

they are all trying to will ND to the 5 seed because everyone knows that is the best seed.

That and moving OSU and even Tennessee in one of them.

So everyone is leaving out Bama, so maybe it will be Texas vs SMU/Clemson. And I think we logically end up at the 5 seed still. 

I think we either get Clemson/SMU or Boise, assuming we get the #5 spot.

 Boise played Oregon. 

They've played the #89 SOS (per Sagarin). 

The only real opponent they've played is Oregon who was missing a bunch of players due to injury. Boise State would be a dream quarterfinals match-up.

I think ND is going to get it.

Nah, I doubt it. I would be pretty shocked if they got it. They have a really poor SOS and a really bad loss. Texas and PSU have much better schedules, play in real conferences, and their losses are to playoff teams.

Here is my projection:

Oregon - 1

Georgia -2

Arizona St - 3

Boise St -4

Texas 5 - Clemson 12 

Penn State 6 - Alabama 11

Notre Dame 7 - Indiana 10

Ohio State 8 - SMU 9

5 or 6 is ideal given you win your home game and you play either Boise or Arizona State in the 2nd round. 7 gets harder because you're playing Georgia a 3rd time.

Heather Denich just posted us at 6 behind Penn St.  No reasoning for why we’d drop below Penn St but why they’d be above ND and OSU. 

She's a big 10 homer. Doesn't mean much

There’s so many ways this damn committee can land, none of us really have any idea how this will land tomorrow.  I’m listening to national sports talk radio (Fox sports) as I type this and they just had the host debating with some Bama hack making the case for Bama.  The host said something along the lines “Texas’ loss to Georgia today may hurt Bama’s chances of getting in because Texas and SMU basically have the same resume (losing to only valid opponents w/ wins over teams barely in or out of the top 25) and that it would be illogical to put Texas in the playoff and not SMU.  They both agreed Texas should drop below ND & Penn State.  The point is the opinions are endless, and who knows the logic of the committee

Did the Tenn team plane go down? Did I miss that in the news?

Yeah as long as SMU makes it in it downs matter if you get 5/6.

So you're dropping Tennessee completely? It's either Alabama or SMU. Not both.

I am confident we would beat them if we play again, but I would rather face them later.

There is literally No reason to drop Texas behind Penn st. At least ND has 1 loss.

no way since we lost in overtime

the committee cannot punish teams who play a championship game. if so, just axe the fucking event 

Really?  Because I think they are absolutely going to axe SMU and Iowa State already got the axe

We're pretty much locked in to either ASU or Boise in the quarters right? 

Either one seems like a better draw than a lot of other teams. As long as we avoid Bama in the opening round, us losing the SEC championship game definitely helped us. 

Clemson or SMU in the 1st round and ASU or Boise in the quarters is a beautiful draw.

the most fuckery would be making Bama "prove themselves" by playing us. Then an SEC team gets eliminated.  Bama wins..see we were right.  Bama loses, well we made them play the "3/4" seed.

It appears that way. Which is great for us.

Well Iowa state was not in the playoffs before today’s game. They had to win to get in. So that’s not relevant to the discussion. 
 

i think they keep SMU in since it was a 3 point loss.

it is certainly the best draw if you rank the seeds 1-12.

No. Are you 12? Why do they matter more than any other team? 
They beat us twice. A national champion with two losses to the same team in a season doesn't sound like a national champion.

I want and think it's likely we get Smu/ASU/Oregon. Much better than Clemson/Boise/Georgia

Anyone else feel like our only way to legitimacy is through Georgia? I really want to beat them when it counts the most

No. A national championship is all that matters. Nobody gives a fuck about what lead up to the championship.

That’s the worst one yet. Behind ND/Penn St and Indiana…lolz.

Fuck him. He has not reasoning for that other than he picked Texas to win so it ruined his pick.
